kotzebue

Dear Niel, Do you know who might have tacked that incredibly snarky bit about Herr Kotzebue on at the end of the article about Kotzebue Sound? It's way out of place. -Wareq

Adolf Etolin

I have tagged your article Adolf Etolin with the {{unreferenced}} {{cleanup}} and {{expert-subject|Biography}} tags. If you could furnish the article with some references, an infobox, or even a picture, the article could be upgraded to Start class. Thank you. --Ozgod 06:47, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
